  • the carrier assembly 434 thus only fulfills a dual function insofar as it has a coupling flange 334 which couples via toothings with the coupling flange 336 of the clutch hub 34. Also in the embodiment of FIG. 22, the torsional vibration damper 300 is disposed radially within the stator assembly 418 and partially overlaps axially therewith.
  • the cover 28 is centered by means of dowel pins 532 on the gearbox and received in a joint gap between the gearbox and the drive unit. Towards the transmission, the joint gap is sealed at 534, so that the receiving space serving as the "outer wet space” is sufficiently sealed off from the drive unit.
  • the sealing disc 180 is welded to the coupling flange 334. But it could also be clipped.
  • the sliding shell 530 need not necessarily be combined with sliding elements and the like, the damping elements, in particular damper springs, can also be accommodated directly in the sliding shell.
  • the radial shaft sealing ring arranged between the cover 28 and the coupling flange 334 the diameter was kept very low in the embodiment shown in FIG. this is still within the crankshaft bolts 316. This minimizes friction losses and wear on the radial shaft seal.
  • the support 434 for the rotor assembly 430 simultaneously serves as an output element for coupling the input side of the double clutch, which corresponds to the primary side of the torsional vibration damper.
  • the coupling hub 34 and the drive shaft 26 of the oil pump is coupled to this output element, wherein the torque flow to the pump does not extend beyond the torsional vibration damper.
  • the assembly of the drive system 11 in a drive train can be carried out expedient, for example, in the following manner: It is the stator assembly 418 mounted on the engine block. Subsequently, the rotor arm 434 together with it attached rotor assembly 430 mounted on the crankshaft. Subsequently, the sealing plate 28 is placed with the radial shaft seal 54 in position and mounted on the engine. Regardless of the dual clutch 12 is mounted with the integrated therein torsional vibration damper 300 as a preassembled unit on the transmission in the transmission bell. Finally, the transmission and the engine are assembled to form the rotary driving connection between the coupling flanges 334 and 336.
